ABOUT ME:
My name is Shelly and I’m a 48-year-old web geek that jumped off the deep end into the makeup and beauty world. I’ve got normal to dry skin, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage. Cameo appearances by my rescue cats Daffy, Polly, Ziva, and Charlie (all girls).
I purchase most products shown on my channel myself. Occasionally I receive PR. PR products were sent to me free of charge with no obligations to review them, unless otherwise noted.

Thank you again Shelly for taking one for the team!! My goodness, you’ve saved me from another return to Amazon!! I was curious about that one but there’s no way it would work for me!! My skin is soooo dry, this would be horrible on it. So thank you 🙏 ❤
Ah well, the search for my HG foundation is on.
One which was close to perfection, but unfortunately has been discontinued, was the Prescriptives Virtual Skin. Prescriptives shut down years ago. However, this was an Estee Lauder brand, I wish EL would bring it back under their own brand.
Try the missha BB cream it's amazing
Huda! Pretty Grunge!!!🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
"Zombie skin" I've totally been there! 😂
I have just noticed the return warning recently too but I think it could be very helpful 💜
I think the daylight check in looks awesome thank you. I’ve been wanting to try this M Adam forever and your skin does not look dry at all.
It’s giving dream matte mousse from the early 90’s
Yes! I thought so too! Only less orange! 😂
Thank you for always being honest!! 😊😅
Frequently returned lol … your Jeep is SWEET!!!! I love it!!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Thanks! It's my baby!!
I bought this from the on board duty free on Delta in June. I like it. It's probably frequently returned because of shade.
I saw that warning on Amazon the other day for the first time.
The finish reminds me of stage makeup.
Coming a little late to the show. Yay, Shelly!
Can you test Dior Forever Matte? Angie Hot and Flashy loves it as does Johnny Ross. Can it work for dry skin? Please be our guinea pig for us dry skin gals! 🙏
I’m 53 with normal to dry skin and I prefer the Dior Matte way over the glow version
@@melodie973 Yes, I have heard quite a few over 40s, dry skin peeps saying that.
Oh wow… as an Amazon expert according to my husband 😂😂 I’ve never seen it say frequently returned. But it’s nice to know
It's funny - I rarely return anything (bad habit) and I'm not sure if it would make me less likely to buy something or if it is more of a dare! lol - in this case, it gave me the guts to return it since apparently everyone else is too.... so while I think they're trying to deter purchases it might have the opposite effect and make people more comfortable returning things.
Your hair looks so lovely
Thanks, Amy!!
I prefer this with Charlotte tilbury Hollywood flawless filter. Sometimes use it on 'pretend no makeup days' 😅
LOL I suspect your "pretend no makeup days" are like mine - anyone else would say, that's totally wearing makeup! But to me it's almost none!
Thank you for taking one for the team!! Better luck with the next foundation.
The warning about it being a frequently returned item was a give away.
Thanks for all you do to help guide us.
💜💞💝

Hi Shelly, I read on Amazon that it is cruelty free and made in Germany. Yay 🎉❤
But…..I’ll pass same as you! 😊
Oh! I have wanted to try this for months!! Lucky for me, we (you and I) have the same skin tone. Interesting about the warning. I'm so glad they've started including that. I have been thinking that this would be very translucent,sheer. I think I like my Kosas skin tint better it looks okay but I know I'd look ghostly 👻 Shellie do you make a rosemary balm or cream? ❤
My only rosemary stuff so far is in my shampoo bars but I'll look into doing a balm or cream with it!!
Thanks Shelly! An "F"!?!? That's a first!!! But I have to agree!
A foundation has to work pretty hard to get to the point where even I give up on it :) lol
Hi Shelly, I couldn’t stop laughing at all your descriptions you said. It felt good laughing you made my day. I am glad you sent that crap back.
Also, watch Wayne Goss he has all new brushes coming out very soon so watch his video cause he explains everything about each new brush. I know if I could afford them I would definitely buy the whole set. Their are some really unique brushes. You might of seen his video already but I know you like his brushes that is why I let you know.
Take care and keep up funny descriptions, you are hilarious.
God Bless You😇
I saw the video. The brushes look very much like the Rephr ones, although as you said some are unique.
I'm definitely going to pick up those 2 pointed eye brushes!
Amazing eye color!
Love your cat. I would love to see more of your kitty😽
Here's a day in the life of my cats from a couple years ago :) though now Merlin is no longer with us and Charlie the Kitten is here :) ruclips.net/video/dFmvWkRPqPw/видео.htmlsi=8lvTp6IHQwMulMMr
You are a trooper, my friend! Just returned from vacation and had to see your sweet face! Well, the zombie skin fit perfectly into the whole spooky season vibe! Your hair is looking beautiful and I love the richness for fall. Love and kitty kisses to Ziva and Co. A big hug to you. Stay safe and well! ❤🐈⬛🐾🐾
What a gorgeous cat!!!!! Also, I realised you are my shade twin so I will be checking all your past foundation reviews. xxxx
The Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator looked like it had the best coverage of all, lol
It is still one of my favorites!
Oh man, thank you so much for saving me from that mess! I have drier skin than you and I know that whole dries-to-a-powder BS ends up with me scrubbing down my face in a public restroom. Also, that is quite the soulful kitteh. Looks like a Russian Blue mix? They are notoriously needy!
I wouldn't be surprised if she is! She's a mutt and the only description the vet had for me is domestic shorthair dilute calico lol.
@@goow You should get her DNA done. I bet it would be a fascinating mix!
Hi Shelley this is a European skincare brand (focused on grapes so similar to Caudalie). They used to only have one “universal” shade aka medium, so the expansion of shades is new. You used way too much I believe as I saw it demonstrated on UK QVC many times and they only used a small amount and really buffed it in. Cream to powder rarely works on very dry skin, but this is a popular product for people with normal or combination skin I believe. I hope that helps. I have seriously dry skin and know nothing matte or cream to powder ever works for my skin, they’re just not hydrating enough and end up looking ghastly by the end of the day. I do think you used about four times as much as recommended 😂, so maybe you were a bit generous in application. Best wishes x
Thanks Shelly..you are so game to try these things for us. I love the red and dark hair on you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love watching your videos. I really appreciate the honest reviews. And it’s always entertaining!❤
Thanks, as always, for the thorough test! Would you try Rituel de Fille 3 Drop Weightless Serum Foundation? It's viral, 5-star and looks too good to be true.
I've got it on my to-buy list!
You saved my funds again - I was curious about this product and thank you for reviewing it! Money will remain with me! LOL!
I got flashbacks of Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse on this one. Oh the horror...the horror.
YESSSSSSSS I just shivered lol.
I got the M Asam Magic Finish in the original shade, whatever that is. I didn’t see a porcelain. I liked it but it was a tad too dark. I personally like it as a primer more than coverage. But for me it was mostly because it was too dark and I had to use a VERY thin layer to make it work for my pale a$$ at all. So might try the porcelain shade!
Wooo! F! We don't get these very often. Fun to try these obscure ones, find a diamond in the ruff. Perhaps if you don't have skin and use it for wall spackle!
LOL right?!?!?
I always enjoy trying to guess what Ziva is trying to tell you by the looks she gives you! 😆
Thanks for the review! This brand appeared in Germany several months ago with a quite aggressive advertising, so I was very skeptical. You can also buy it here in the drug stores, but there are no testers, everything packaged in the same brown boxes, and the price is not drug store level. So I've never seen people even close to the shelf
Interesting!! I saw it in a couple places, a few makeup people on TikTok pushing it and it was listed in a couple of those "must have from Amazon" roundups. Figured I'd see what I was missing.... I find it odd that the page on Amazon didn't really have anything about the company or its European roots. I wonder if it's another case of counterfeits on Amazon.
Your ghost blender is way cute 😂👻
You're gonna LOVE my choice for Halloween costume ❤❤❤🎃 It's off the charts y'all 😂 📈
I know the product was questionable, but I just wanted to say that you looked absolutely gorgeous in the jeep for the daylight check-in!! Gosh your eyes are unique!! (OK, I'll stop fangirling now 😂).. Once again, thank you for testing these so we can save our money!.. Much love from New Zealand x
The Jeep makes everything look better! LOL
Reviews on Amazon can be so crazy! But really, it’s the same everywhere. I can NOT stand people who review with “Love it,” “hate it,” “can’t wait to use it,” ones complaining about it not doing something that it never claimed to do (like complaining it’s sheer and not full coverage when it said that it was sheer coverage) or complaining about something it said it was (like that it’s full coverage and they complain about that), or the ones who complain saying they want a return (like open one then, why you writing a review?!). I honestly don’t get people wasting their time doing it for that crap! I always look for longer reviews because they usually give good details. I always review things I buy since I use reviews so often before buying and always try to mention things I would want to know before buying. So I look for reviews like that. But it’s crazy the ones mixed in there! 😂😂
#MAssam is VERY popular from drugstores in Central Europe
I’ll pass on this one! Just ordered backups of my beloved ELDW in my summer/winter shades 1C0 Shell and 1C1 Cool Bone. I think I’m near the point where I should give up on new foundations, as nothing seems to wow me anymore. I’ll stick with my ELDW, Missha BB Cream, and Haus Labs… For now… 😂
Every time I try a new foundation, I’m disappointed. Nothing beats my Missha! ☺️
Hi,Have you ever used phoera foundation?Can you do a wear test with that one?X
I haven't yet but added it to my list!!
😮You're always willing to take one for the team! But I'm wondering what you used for blush, bronzer, etc.- there's no listing in the Description section. It almost looks like you have none of these products on, or maybe the funky foundation just swallowed them? Love the video, and yes! to Ziva the wondercat!
It’s the new Hourglass palette, she shows everything in the video
Yep the Hourglass Ambient Edit Unlocked palette :)
oh Yuk!Not surprised you’ve already returned to sender.
I'm not surprised it was a patchy mess--primer, foundation, concealer, powder all in one?! Yeah right--"it's a dessert topping AND a floor wax!" (Chevy Chase-era SNL, dating myself big time) Plus side, your hair is awesome! In conclusion, I only have half as many cats as you do and there is ALWAYS a hair on my nose, usually those fine little wavy undercoat hairs!
LOLOL classic Chevy! and I just pulled a cat hair off my nostril just now.
I think this 66 year old face can pass this one up magic or no magic! lol! Smooches to ZIVA!
Bad product. Great cat. Good and thorough review.
I’ve seen that warning on other products before and decided to not buy that item. 😊
Two things: I'm sure you know but Wayne Goss is relaunching his brushes!!!!!!
Second: i saw a pice of your classic content on a video by Robert Welsh and i have to tell you that you have grown more beautiful and grounded and i just had to let you know 😊
I'm so excited about WG's new brushes! I'm buying a couple of them for sure (and maybe a set if I can convince Santa!) I couldn't believe that Robert Welsh found me - and thank you!!
"Behind you is my window." That stopped me for a moment, lol. Well, at least you had zombie skin around Halloween? I've also been wondering about the Yummy Skin Tint by Danessa Myricks and if there is something in our shade (I'm a close match to you, BTW). I'm also curious about Lunar Beauty's new palette, if you're okay with it.
The Yummy Skin Tint is on its way to me! (Well, I ordered it a couple days ago in the Sephora sale but they seem to be on the struggle bus with the web site crashing and it hasn't shipped yet).
Never heard of this one before. I have skin like yours so this would be a no. We need more cat content! How many cats do you have? We need to see them all 😊. Or maybe just I’m a cat lady.
I need to do an updated "day in the life of my cats" video now that I've got the kitten (who is now a year and half old and so big I can't even call her a kitten anymore!!)
They could market it as a Halloween makeup called 'zombie skin' 😂
LOL true!!!
Thank you. That would not work on my older, sensitive skin.
I actually thought it looked nice on your skin. I did see where the skin was flaky and the product didn't do aa well but thought it looked great on the rest of your skin.😊
Foundation didn't turn out well, but at least I got my Ziva fix for the week!
I bought this while in Germany over the summer. Looks dry and powdery on my skin and absolutely not enough shades
💖
Uh oh….the return warning is a RED FLAG.
Did you return it?
Did you buy anything from the Sephora sale going on?
I did return it :) And I have 5 foundations coming from the Sephora sale (so far lol).
I look to see if you have reviewed a foundation before I even think of buying it
It magically disappeared on your nose and chin! 😂😂😂
LMAO! Maybe it IS magic!!!!
Face of a new born baby 😂 😂 😂
I know only a few guys here in germany, who like this M.Asam Foundation. Where the 14 K positive reviews come from I don't know 😂😂😂😂 terrible stuff,I applied it 2x, after that it went in the trash 🙄
That’s a shame; I love a good mousse foundation like the old style Revlon one. And it’s $26.99 ?!? 🤷🏻♀️👎
😂😂. You’re too funny. Don’t think I’ve ever seen you at a loss for words. Maybe it’s your lighting but it didn’t seem to look that awful but, I’ll take your word for it. Hi Ziva!!! Thanks for the review. With my Sahara desert dry skin, I will definitely not be trying it.
Cracked me up how you returned the sucker before the review was done. That’s some bad stuff. A big NOPE!
Its ok that Americans are on the „no fragrance „ trip… but i know a looot of Europeans… i am an European…. they wouldn’t never buy something that smells not good… we are not afraid of fragrance 😂
It's funny here because of course there are scare tactics around various ingredients (which isn't totally unfounded, as the EU is much better at protecting people than the US, but we cancel things with no context a lot of the time) - so the fact that fragrance ingredients can sensitize skin made a lot of people cancel fragrance... but then people smell what a product smells like without added fragrance and they don't like it and you can't have it both ways! lol
that foundation done you dirty - time to go
Right?!?!
😂
I think this is a big no for me. No offense to you, Shelly, but it looks very heavy on your face. Perhaps one of the reasons for high customer returns is the fact that there are only 5 shades.
I agree 100% about the ABH mascara. It's fabulous.
LOL. Zombie skin!
It's a big no for you. Your skin is gorgeous, this foundation isn't showing that at all. No bueno. Return to Sender.
Hugs to you, Ziva, and the other kitties.
Have a great weekend!❤🩷🥰
Oh, boy, somewhat of a disaster.
Have you ever tried the laura geller?
I don't think I've tried a Laura Geller foundation since the old Filter First foundation. I'll have to see what's new!
